Story

I have owned many different Pontiac Muscle cars since I was 15 years old. For me, my ultimate Pontiac Muscle Car is a GTO Judge Convertible. Being this selective for my search meant I had a limited number of cars to pursue. What I mean by this is the GTO Judge was only made for three years, each year only had a small percentage manufactured as a convertible.  In 1969 there were only 108 GTO Judge Convertibles made, for 1970 Pontiac only made 162 GTO Judge Convertibles and for 1971 Pontiac only produced 17 GTO Judge Convertibles as the Judge option was cancelled halfway through the model year.

With such a limited number of cars to be available, I knew I would have to be patient and have a wide scope to look for a car. In 2022 my patience paid off and I was able to purchase a beautiful 1970 GTO Juge Convertible in a one year only paint color (Atoll Blue) with a dark blue interior and white top. The car was ordered with a 4-speed transmission, posi rear and the famous Pontiac Hood Tach for the GTO. I may have had to be patient for years to purchase the car, fortunately in my nationwide search, I was able to find this car only an hour away from my home.

Since I have owned the car from 2022, it has been to many regional and national shows earning top awards at GTOAA Nationals (Best of Show restored, twice), MCACN (Gold award, twice) and Pontiacs at Pigeon Forge (Best of Show restored, twice).

My wife and I are honored to be the caretakers of such a desirable Pontiac GTO Judge Convertible and we enjoy sharing the car with other car enthusiasts.
